SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 

3003, of the completion of an inventory 

of human remains under the control of 

Case Western Reserve University, 

Cleveland, OH. The human remains 

were removed from a shoreline area on 

Maui Island, HI. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in 

this notice are the sole responsibility of 

the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American human remains. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Case Western 

Reserve University professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA). 

History and Description of the Remains 

Sometime in the early part of the 20th 

century, human remains representing, at 

minimum, five individuals were 

removed from the shoreline area of 

Maui, HI, by a Mr. Woods, a resident of 

Ohio. The records accompanying the 

human remains describe them as likely 

belonging to three males and two 

females and surmise that their presence 

Maui was a result of Polynesian 

migration patterns. In 1932, the human 

remains were donated to CWRU for 

research and study and were assigned 

catalog numbers HTD 0.234–0.238. 

Subsequently, the Woods collection was 

permanently loaned to the Cleveland 

Museum of Natural History (CMNH), 

where the human remains listed in this 

notice now reside. No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Determinations Made by Case Western 

Reserve University 

Officials of Case Western Reserve 

University have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of five 

individuals of Native Hawaiian 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the Native Hawaiian human 

remains and the Office of Hawaiian 

Affairs. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to request transfer of control 

of these human remains should submit 

a written request with information in

additional requestors have come 

forward, transfer of control of the 

human remains to the Office of 

Hawaiian Affairs may proceed. 

Case Western Reserve University is 

responsible for notifying the Office of 

Hawaiian Affairs that this notice has 

been published.

Indians, the yak tityu tityu yak ti5hini— 

Northern Chumash Tribe, and the 

Salinan Tribe of San Luis Obispo and 

Monterey Counties (hereafter referred to 

as ‘‘The Consulted Tribes and Groups’’). 

History and Description of the Remains 

In 1960, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from CA–SLO–156 in San Luis 

Obispo County, CA. Fred Reinman 

conducted excavations from June to 

August 1960 at this Late Period site. 

These excavations were conducted in 

association with the University of 

California Archaeological Survey under 

contract with the State Division of 

Beaches and Parks, which is now the 

Department of Parks and Recreation 

(State Parks). The excavations were 

initiated and conducted prior to the 

construction of a dam that would flood 

the site. The dam was designed and 

constructed by the State Department of 

Water Resources (DWR) during the 

period October 1958 to April 1961. The 

excavated materials were brought to 

UCLA Anthropology for analysis and 

preparation of a report for State Parks 

and DWR. They were curated by UCLA 

Anthropology until 1976, when, along 

with the rest of the archeological 

collections at UCLA Anthropology, they 

were transferred to the Fowler Museum. 

The fragmentary human remains, which 

were recovered from the surface of the 

site, belong to an adult of undetermined 

sex. No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

In 1960, human remains representing, 

at minimum, five individuals were 

removed from CA–SLO–157 in San Luis 

Obispo County, CA. M.B. McKusick and 

Frances Riddell conducted excavations 

at this Late Period site in March of 1960, 

and the materials recovered from their 

excavations are identified as Accession 

290. Fred M. Reinman conducted 

additional excavations at the site from 

June to August of 1960, and the 

materials recovered from his 

excavations are identified as Accession 

292. Both excavations were conducted 

in association with the University of 

California Archaeological Survey under 

contract with the State Division of 

Beaches and Parks, which is now the 

Department of Parks and Recreation 

(State Parks). The excavations were 

initiated and conducted prior to the 

construction of the above described 

dam. The excavated materials were 

brought to UCLA Anthropology for 

analysis and preparation of a report for 

State Parks and DWR. They were 

curated by UCLA Anthropology until 

1976, when, along with the rest of the 

archeological collections at UCLA 

Anthropology, they were transferred to 

the Fowler Museum. The human 

remains in Accession 290, Burial 1 

belong to an adult, possibly male. The 

human remains in Accession 292, 

Burials 2, 3, and 4 belong to two 

juveniles and one infant. In addition, 

Accession 292 includes the fragmentary 

remains of an adult of indeterminate sex 

that were recovered from the surface of 

the site. No known individuals were 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present in Accession 290. 

The 78 associated funerary objects in 

Accession 292 include two sandstone 

pestles, one sandstone hammerstone, 

one basalt cobble, one quartzite core, 

one jasper projectile point, one chert 

chopper/scraper, three jasper retouched 

flakes, one chert worked flake, 48 

unmodified shell fragments, three stone 

flakes, one chert flake, seven stone 

fragments, seven unmodified animal 

bone fragments, and one yellow ochre 

fragment. 

In 1960, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from CA–SLO–159 in San Luis 

Obispo County, CA. Fred Reinman 

conducted excavations from June to 

August of 1960 at this Late Period site. 

These excavations were conducted in 

association with the University of 

California Archaeological Survey under 

contract with the State Division of 

Beaches and Parks, which is now the 

Department of Parks and Recreation 

(State Parks). The excavations were 

initiated and conducted prior to the 

construction of the above described 

dam. The excavated materials were 

brought to UCLA Anthropology for 

analysis and preparation of a report for 

State Parks and DWR. They were 

curated by UCLA Anthropology until 

1976, when, along with the rest of the 

archeological collections at UCLA 

Anthropology, they were transferred to 

the Fowler Museum. The fragmentary 

human remains, which were recovered 

from the surface of the site, belong to an 

adult, possibly female. No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. 

Through consultation, and consistent 

with ethnographic and historic 

documentation, the sites detailed in the 

above paragraphs have been determined 

to lie within the traditional territory of 

the Chumash. Moreover, the associated 

funerary objects in this notice are 

consistent with those used by groups 

that are ancestral to the present-day 

Chumash people. While the material 

culture of the earlier groups living in the 

area has passed through stages over the 

past 10,000 years, according to many 

local archeologists, these changes reflect 

evolving ecological adaptations and 

related developments in social 

organization of the same populations, 

rather than population displacements or 

movements, and explain why the same 

range of artifact types and materials 

were used from the early pre-contact 

period until historic times. Similarly, 

Native consultants explicitly state that 

population mixing (which did occur on 

a small scale) would not alter the 

continuity of the shared group identities 

of people associated with specific 

locales. Consequently, continuity 

through time can be traced between the 

earlier groups at the above listed sites 

and the present-day Chumash people. 

Determinations Made by the Fowler 

Museum at the University of California 

Los Angeles 

Officials of the Fowler Museum at the 

University of the California Los Angeles 

have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of seven 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), 

the 78 objects described in this notice 

are reasonably believed to have been 

placed with or near individual human 

remains at the time of death or later as 

part of the death rite or ceremony. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the Native American human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

and the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash 

Mission Indians of the Santa Ynez 

Reservation, California. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to request transfer of control 

of these human remains and associated 

funerary objects should submit a written 

request with information in support of 

the request to Wendy G Teeter, Ph.D., 

Fowler Museum at UCLA, Box 951549, 

Los Angeles, CA 90095–1549, telephone 

(310) 825–1864, email wteeter@

arts.ucla.edu, by August 18, 2021. After 

that date, if no additional requestors 

have come forward, transfer of control 

of the human remains and associated 

funerary objects to the Santa Ynez Band 

of Chumash Mission Indians of the 

Santa Ynez Reservation, California may 

proceed. 

The Fowler Museum at the University 

of the California Los Angeles is 

responsible for notifying The Consulted 

Tribes and Groups that this notice has 

been published.

History and Description of the Remains 

In 1983, human remains representing, 

at minimum, nine individuals were 

removed from the Five Finger Ridge Site 

(42SV1686) and the Icicle Bench Site 

(42SV1372) in Sevier County, UT. The 

remains of eight individuals were 

removed from the Five Finger Ridge Site 

and the remains of one individual were 

removed from the Icicle Bench Site by 

the Office of Public Archaeology (OPA) 

of Brigham Young University as part of 

the Interstate-70 construction project. 

Based on the excavated artifacts and 

architectural structures, both sites 

belong to the prehistoric Formative 

(Anasazi/Fremont) Period (from 

approximately 400 B.C.E. to 1300 C.E.). 

OPA returned the human remains to 

the Fremont Indian State Park and 

Museum in 1987. From December 2018 

to December 2020, a physical 

anthropology/forensics analyst from the 

Utah State Historic Preservation Office 

conducted a detailed examination of the 

fragmentary human remains, during 

which over 1,000 individual bone 

fragments were identified. Only by 

plotting the findspots of the human 

remains and through forensic 

reconstruction could the number of 

individuals be determined. No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Determinations Made by the Fremont 

Indian State Park and Museum 

Officials of the Fremont Indian State 

Park and Museum have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

are Native American, based on the 

culture represented by the excavated 

artifacts and architectural structures. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of nine 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a 

relationship of shared group identity 

cannot be reasonably traced between the 

Native American human remains and 

any present-day Indian Tribe. 

• According to final judgments of the 

Indian Claims Commission or the Court 

of Federal Claims, the land from which 

the Native American human remains 

were removed is the aboriginal land of 

the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & 

Ouray Reservation, Utah. 

• Treaties, Acts of Congress, or 

Executive Orders indicate that the land 

from which the Native American human 

remains were removed is the aboriginal 

land of the Ute Indian Tribe of the 

Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah. 

• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the 

disposition of the human remains may 

be to the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah 

& Ouray Reservation, Utah. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Representatives of any Indian Tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization not 

identified in this notice that wish to 

request transfer of control of these 

human remains should submit a written 

request with information in support of 

the request to Kevin Taylor, Manager,
